Where Are You

Where are you

People everywhere
Crowds swarming here and there

No matter where I go
I see people everywhere
That I really don’t know

Hundreds of faces
All races and ages

I look for you
Through the crowds of faces
But you have left no traces

But where are you
Where did you go
Had you put on a great show

The world looks very different now
Nothing will ever look the same
Because it seemed like just a game

Those lyrics created but were not real
Just a fabrication with phony meaning
That borders on being surreal

There you are
In that photo I see
As it reappears constantly

That is all that is left
From you to me
It is nothing but a fake memory

Missing who I though was
Left nothing but a façade
Or was it for just a very selfish cause

Feeling empty and in pain
That dark feeling that is experienced
Is from more than just rain

Such incredible sadness
Which has not gone away
With haunting thoughts
For the rest of my days

But where are you
Where did you go
Were you ever there to begin with
No one knows

What happened to the caring
You said it was there
Explaining was never an option
And in you it was not there

Of all people it was you
What a shock to live through
The only one with timeless trust
You were not even true

But where are you
Where did you go
The truth hurts I know

I now know where you are
You were never you
Who I thought you were
Was never something true

Trying to believe
But faith has faded away
That you still exist somewhere
And you will return someday

What happened to the caring
You said it was there
Explaining was never an option
And in you it was not there

This "speaks" of betrayal and abandonment with which I can identify, Staci. Don't give up hope (although the "eventual" may not be the "original.") Love and best wishes to you,

Regis

Is this death or love gone awry? Either way it bites. Today is another glorious day, if you but believe.
